1st Suiter’s Chriskoois Octavius At Genetika (Imp Est). Lovely dog who caught my eye from the start in this class. Nice head, correct eye and ear set just above. Stands himself straight & true at all times. Ideally would like a little less length in body. Moved with a springy movement showing reach and drive and good use of his tail. He looks to have a bright future ahead of him. At 11 months he is nearly mature and was pleased to also award him Reserve Best Dog and Best Puppy in Breed.
2nd Kerfoot’s Papikoi's Funsize Twix. Just 6 months and very raw but shows lots of promise. Correct head and expression. Moves lovely in rear and profile. Just needs to tighten in in front, but he has time.
3rd Marsden’s Gladsheim Apollo
Res Brook’s Papikoi Time Out

1st Williams’ Cairnbraid Onwaba Lukimbi Of Gladsheim (Imp Bel). 16 month , finer type boy but who has everything there. Compact shape and great angulation fore & aft. Lovely head, eye and ear. Movement was straight fore & aft and in profile you could see his reach & drive through his short hocks, without being overdone. Carried his tail up on the move using it to his advantage. Very pleased to award him Best Dog & Best of Breed

1st Kennedy’s Crunchcroft Onyx. 4 year old compact & square dog. Good head and nice ear & eye. Short neck leads to average angulation and could benefit from tighter elbows which spoil his front movement. Carrying a good coat.

1st Groome’s Unosta Trivial Pursuit. 6 year old larger dog. Strong in head and across the muzzle. Domed skull and ear set above the eye. Straight front on tight feet, well angulated fore & aft but a bit long in body. Moved well and carried his tail well.

1st Stockton’s Papikoi's After Eight. 6 month very raw puppy, but so pretty. Good front & rear and moved well and was very together for her age. Lovely head, skull & ear. No doubt she will have a bright future based on what she showed today.

1st Johnson’s Sensation Vom Tespelkooi Of Valleyrise (Imp Deu). 16 month bitch with everything to like. Feminine head and lovely expression and body to match. Moved true and steady with a level topline. Just didn’t want to carry her tail today and stood bum high.

Swinburn’s Cirtap's Prinses Bynton Ida Rose Mk (Imp). Apart from leaving her coat at home, this bitch is beautiful and easily topped the class. Lovely head, eye and ear carriage and shape correct. Lovely shape in profile standing on tight, compact feet. Good length of neck leading to good shoulder. She held her strong topline at all times. She gave a wonderful picture throughout the class. Best Bitch.

1st Williams’ Daniella Vom Thyrowberg To Gladsheim (Imp Deu). Lovely bitch in good coat and condition. Pretty head with dark eye. Good amount of bone for a bitch and good compact feet. Well angulated fore & aft. Would prefer her a bit shorter coupled, but she held her topline on the stand & move and lovely use of her tail. R
